The United Arab Emirates (UAE) government has set up multiple free zones in the Emirates, each designed for a specific business activity. UAE free trade zones offer facilities to non-resident corporates, like the convenience of single-window administration, and 100% ownership.

The ease of doing business, government support for entrepreneurs, world-class infrastructure and secure banking facilities, etc., are factors in making the UAE a strategic location for business establishments.
